“I’d get comments like: ‘Go and make some tea or coffee’. That’s what you have to do starting out anyway but it really felt like you had to work extra hard to prove yourself because otherwise they’ll just want to put you in a box.”

However she reckons times are changing for equality.

She explained: “I come from a strong female background, I was raised by just my mum, a single working parent, and I was very lucky that I was always led to believe that, even though we didn’t come from a lot, that you could kind of do anything you wanted.

“I think it’s great now that women are supporting women and men are supporting women, too.

“I’ve got friends who’ve got little girls and it’s great to have them grow up in a world where anything is possible and where you’re not afraid to say something because of what someone might think or just because you’re a girl.”

She added: “I feel like, in 50 years time, we’ll look back at 2018 and be like: ‘That’s the time that this change happened’.”
